Historical Hero Upgrade: Difference between revisions

* Matthias Corvinus ruled Hungary with an iron fist. He was known for imprisoning the nobles who crowned him king, and instituting high taxes to maintain his army of [[Elite Mooks]]. Despite this, he is known as Hungary's greatest and most iconic folk hero, for his sense of justice and his rumoured habit of mingling with the common folk. The fact that the kingdom of Hungary was living it's golden age during his rule, and practically died with him, also helps his case.

* [[Franklin D Roosevelt]] was a massive racist (not even remotely [[Fair For Its Day]], as several prior presidents had spoken out against exactly what he pushed for) that extended the great depression by terrible monetary policy, disarmed law abiding citizens, imprisoned US citizens indefinitely without trial for being the wrong race, nominated an actual proven KKK member to the Supreme Court (later elevating him to Chief Justice), abused the espionage act to shut down those critical of him, rigged the supreme court, outlawed farmers from growing food to feed their family (to the point of burning crops in a poorly thought out plan to raise food prices in the dust bowl), gave the federal government unlimited power and kept [[Harry Truman]] in the dark about everything despite know how he could (and did) die soon. Yet because his cabinet and generals won [[World War II]] you'll ([[The Grimnoir Chronicles|almost]]) never find a piece of fiction that dares show him as anything but a saint.
